I think it's time to potty train!

Today Duncan decided he wanted a different diaper on ( one with moon's, it is a night time diaper). so after I changed his stinky diaper and was washing my hands.......... Duncan went to his closet and got the diaper he wanted, pulled his pants to his ankles and took off the clean diaper and said, peed, need a new one!! Well hopefully it will come soon!!

I can't remember if I wrote about my baby shower last month!! Abby, the girls, Tammy, and Jen and her girls did an open house baby shower for us. It was a blast. The whole community was invited and lots, and lots of people came. We got lots of diapers, wipes, soaps, and clothes! Thanks to all of them for doing this.

The baby beds are set up and so now we have to get the rest of the clothes put away and the beds made, bottles washed and the cupboard with all the bottles and bath stuff organized and I think we will be ready to go!!

I went to the doctor on Friday, everything is still going well. Got to see the babies again, man are they getting big!! No wonder I feel like I can't breath sometimes. I am cutting down to 2 4 hour shifts a week at work, not bad for 27 weeks along. We will go back to the doctor every week still, and they say that most likely 11-19 is when the babies will be born. We are excited!!

Duncan is talking more and more still, it is going to be never ending now!! He is using 3 word sentences, sometimes 4. We always know what he wants for the most part. He also knows what he wants and will make sure we understand so he can get it! I wish he was ready to be potty trained, but he is not yet. We ask often if he wants to sit on the potty, sometimes yes and sometimes no! Mostly no!! I am not going to force it right now, mostly because I don't have the energy and it will be me that cries because I do that alot lately!!


Duncan and his ice cream cone his Daddy got him for being a good boy!! 10-10

Well I went back to the doctor on Friday. All the babies are growing and doing well. They weight 2.0,2.1,2.2,and 1.15. They are all measuring ahead of schedule still. I am feeling well for the most part, except my back is really bothering me this weekend. I am not sure what I have done, but pretty sure it is from picking up Duncan. I am tiring really hard not to pick him up, but sometimes I just have too. When we seen the doctor on Friday, he states there is no reason to push me past 32 weeks since I am doing so well, so most likely the babies will be here on 11-19-10, just a few weeks away. I am still working 4 hour days at work and they told me as soon as I can't do it I need to let them know so I can get a note for work. Hopefully I will be able to keep working for a few more weeks, we will see. I am thinking maybe I will have to cut to 2, 4 hour shifts a week.

Duncan is doing well, he is still growing every day and makes us laugh hard daily at something he does. He knows I don't feel well and he can get away with pretty much anything so he is taking full advantage of that! He has decided he needs his Dad to lay with him at night time so he can go to sleep. He tires to get Mom in there, but I just can't lay on his bed at this point. Today he decided he needed to shower with Mom, so he did and when his Dad came and got him to get him dressed he got away and came back to the shower, and hopped right back in. I can't really stop him at this point because I can't bend over. So his Dad came and got him back out and ready for bed! I am pretty sure that Duncan knows there is alot of change coming too, I hope and pray he does well with all of the change that is coming our way.

Some days, like today I am unsure how I will make it through the next 6 weeks, it is getting harder to do things every day. I am pretty sure Tracy and I are both feeling over whelmed. I know I am, what is coming, what I can't do anymore ( less and less every day). I am very thankful for Tracy and keeping the house up, and taking care of Duncan. Also we are very thankful for the Hawkins for all they are doing to help out and also Mom for all she does! We sure couldn't do it without every one's help, so Thanks a bunch!

Well that is all for now, I am going to bed and try and sleep. Sleeping is also getting more difficult, I have lots of trouble getting comfy!!

We have not been up to much lately, the usual.. I rest when I am not at home.

I went to the doctor today, all the babies are doing good. They will be here the week of Thanksgiving, man time sure has went fast! I now have to go to the doctor every week. They will do the babies measurements every 3 weeks, and just check the heart rates on the other weeks. I feel very lucky to still be working at 25 weeks, with no problems. I am only working 4 hours a day now and then I come home and rest for a few hours. I can spend some time with Duncan and Tracy this way, it works well so far. When I decide I can't do 4 hours anymore all I have to do is call and the doctor will give me a note for what I think I can do.

Duncan is growing still every day. He is talking more and more, really he is never quiet!! I am not really sure what he will think when we bring all of the babies home, guess we will just have to see. He is in to listening to music lately. He likes to listen to his kids bop, and loves to dance to it too, he drags Mom and Dad in his room to dance with him. Really quite a sight!! Poor guy has no chance watching his Mom and Dad dance!

I had to take Tracy to the ER last week for chest pain and shortness of breath. They kept him over night and did a stress test. The stress test showed no damage to his heart, but his heart is not pumping as much as it should. He had an echo this week and will see the cardiologist next week. We will have to see what they say, I think he will most likely get some medicine to help his heart and that should take care of things, I hope!

Aunt Joni was home for her class reunion this last week and stopped by to say hi. We had a nice visit, not as long as we would of liked, but her, Abby and Duncan had to go have lunch with Hannah. Everyone from the Weir side will be back at Christmas, I can't wait to see everyone and get to visit!!
